OH!MY!GOD!I Cant Believe Coco Rocha the fab girl is going to have a line *o*SPEECHLESS.Im 100% with u babe! youre amazing!but i really need to think what im going to say about suggestions so..maybe the second comment (:

heey cocoomg thats amazing. I have also been "modeling" for a while and I am about the take a program at john casablancas for fashion marketing and management because I absolutly love the fashion industry.I think that a key thing to having a fashion line is that it is actually wearable. I feel that when it comes to many designers you can't actually wear alot of clothes in you every day life. I also believe that there shoud perhaps be an affordable line and a more high end line. I absolutly love fashion but I am anable to afford many items. Staying true what you actually like is also important. People want to wear what coco wears so if you where to design something you wouldnt actually wear defetes the purpose of having a line. Having your clothing line being made is canada or the US is also important to alot of people. I prefer to purchase something that is made in canada vs made is china or japan. The materials that the clothes are made out of is also important. Weather you chose to use fur or no fur. Having accessorties and bags is also nice, but clothes are the first priority.But i do think that affordability is jey so that everyone can enjoy your creativity and not only people who have a good wage.

I agree with SoundsLike_youra it should just be OhSoCoCo or OHSOCOCO or something like that remember a name has to be relevent to you and your line and not just sound nice, We all have faith in you! Fingers crossed and the bets of Luck!

Also I'm a writer for Sketchbook Magazine would love to do an interview/feature let me know!

Well depending on what kind of line you are planning to release should dictate the name. If it's going to be something mainstream and affordable then you can go with OhSoCoCo or whatever the previous posts said, because it sounds all "bubbly" and whatnot, and will have all the little teenage girls lining up to purchase your shirts and skirts. If you are going to focus on creating something more serious, then I say just go with your own first and last name. After all, it should be something unique and meaningful rather than spur of the moment "cool." Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I agree with everybody who suggested OhSoCoco cause it's a good name, but because there was already one great Coco maybe it would be better to name it "Rocha". I always thought thatt Rocha sounds so genuine..

I'm so glad! you are by far my favorite model and seems you are talented ;) so, congrats.I'd love to get something designed by you so make it affordable! hehe.

Oh so Coco would be nice but that's like the right name for a perfume, have you thought about making your own fragrance? It would be awesome too. Go by Coco Rocha, I think you have a good nickname and surname for a label :)

I like "Rocha" a lot! Or what about plays on your name? Like "RochaSea" (Rocha C) or Or what if you did a symbol as yur name? Like the "C" backwards, with the "R" frontwards and lined up to the back of the "C"?

Everyone so far has missed the obvious! You're well known for your dancing talent, and I think it sets you apart from other models. It's definitely given you more of a personality than some of the other girls! So, how about a dance term? I don't know any myself, but I'm certain that you do.

Love the idea!How about 'Victoire' ? A take on the capital of BC Victoria, with a French flair because of the French heritage of Canada (and Coco, which is also a very French name), and finally, I'd say you're pretty successful, and this line will be successful, so it's a take on the word victory.Whatever you choose, it will be amazing!

With regards to naming the line after yourself, it's a risk -- if you look at other celebrities lines, the ones that do well have developed their own brand, and not just fed off the celebrity's brand (e.g. The Row, L.A.M.B, etc). Designers who are just designers can use their names because they are associated only with their product. Oh So Coco's a great name for the blog, but I'd stick to something less eponymous. Best of luck and look forward to your line!

Rocha Rocha (or is that too Ricci Ricci?)Coco? (Makes you think too much of Chanel?)Rochawear (would you get sued for that because it looks so much like 'Rocawear'?)

It would be very nice if you could design clothes for women of all shapes and sizes, though that would be one tricky investment...if not, then at least those who are very leggy? :D I would be so grateful if you could/would!

I wish you the best of luck with this and look forward to seeing what you'll come up with! :)

I'm so excited about your new line ! I'll definitely buy all the clothes from it !Sorry if my english isn't good, but I'm 14 and I'm from Argentina, so I'm learning how to speak properly, even when I'm the best of the class in English (:Well, I think your line should be called CRC like Coco Rocha Couture or The Second Coco, because of Coco Chanel.I hope my suggestions help you, keep designing, I think you are great, but PLEASE keep modeling, I think you were born for that.Thanks for being such an inspiration for me. I have to say that you are my role model, even when in my country people like you are not important. You have to know that I'll always be your #1 fan and if I go to NY I'll definitely go to a runway show just to see you.Keep doing your best!Agustina from Argentina ♥

just to throw something out there...mocha. m form your first name (just found that out from the comments) and ocha from the last letters for your last name. although your last name is prounounced "rosha" and not like "ocha" in mocha.

Something what everyone can wear and what is affordable. i m thinking of either blouses or t-shirts or skirts, which you can use at any day time and not just to special events. that makes more fun and your label would be made known faster than on just any model show. so go for it!!!!!!!

wow this is so exciting! i love that readers get to be a part of this too.

hmmm...i think it's difficult to come up with a name if we don't really know the concept of your designs or the target audience, but i think you should consider just using your name, or something that relates back to it.

ohh awesome!! I saw people suggested oh so coco, I think it's a good idea. It clearly stats it your style your creations, it sounds hip and fun. I'm 18 and want to be a designer, so I started my own page with my creations:http://www.facebook.com/pages/ADRENALINE/112805803416?ref=nfIf ever you want to see how it is.

I really wish you good luck with this, I can't wait to see more!!

xxooAndrea :D

ps: you're voice is so sweet. You're a great person, and incredible role model, something this world and especially fashion world lacks of. Thank you. <3

Name it OHSO. sounds cool, your fans will know its you, others won't judge because it doesn't include your name, because if you put coco in the name they might refer to chanel and think OHSO COCO is like you're saying this is so chanel. so OHSO would be cool. I can see it on all the signs. good luck

First thing I came up with was AHCOR (reversed rocha) but that doesn't flow too well :p I do like RoCoco (but I'm just loving art a lot, if it doesn't fit with your line it might not be the best name).

And I think a finding a name on this blog might be a little obvious or already said so: Wikipedia (lol).

Your brothers name is Morandin, if you're close to him this might be a nice name (since the Olsen twins also called it after their sister, don't ask why I know this xD).

I don't know if it matters but THERE IS an argentinian fashion line name Chocolate, it's really nice and it's been there for a while and Angela Lindvall made the campaign years ago, so I DON'T think that should be the name.

i would dedicate your new line to something you are close and attached to. friends, experiences, family, etc. i should though be clear that this is YOUR line. something people can refer to and will say: "oh, yes, this is so coco." something like 'coco loco', or 'go for coco'.... i think however you ll label ur line its your link to. so label it as you feel comfortable with.

Styloco! You put coco and style togeheter. haha i know it's a litte bad name but i have not so god imagination. but i think oh so coco would be a great name to! Good look with it i am so looking forward to see it!!!

hi coco im glad to see that you're asking help from us!!!im french so i though about a french name "signé coco" it's short and classyoh so coco and coco rocha are great too but more conventional !hope you'll find the right one among our answers!!!i look forward to seeing your line

Hello Coco!you're very amazing! beautiful, clever... I'm starting to be jealous (I'm just kidding)can you make a line for teenagers?I thought a line about your contry: Canada, uhm... , a line with some of your photos on clothes.You're so fantastic, I can't believe in my eyes, before, you were a nice model and now you're a great top model!!! I'd like to have a carrer like yours.see you.

I was thinking alike with joan, what about just "Rocha" or "Coco Rocha"? your name is unique, cute and beautiful! Countless designers name their line after their name, and yours stands out above the rest. I'd rather have the last name Rocha than Vuitton any day! If you go against that idea, what about a french word that goes along the lines of feminine? like "femme fatale"? Or "femme fatale (Coco/Rocha)"? I wouldn't name it Oh so Coco, that cheapens it and doesn't sound endearing for a fashion line! Wishing you all the success, Ann (wickablogging.blogspot.com)

coco is such a great name, i think it should involve that. i cant think how though. like other people have said ohsococo would work for a fashion line aswell if you want something playful. thats all i can think of.

I agree with Hanna's suggestion, Rococo is brilliant and catchy and has many layers of meaning relevant to you! Your first and last name plus the clever connection to historical French art, design and style! Elegant yet offbeat-it's so you!

omg... i will wear anything you produce and come up with!!!! Love you Love you Love you.

um what about, James?? as in your bf, or Bridge as in you being a model crossing into designing, or post model still doing the model thing but still segueing into other things, fahrenheit coco?? some options :)

I would definitely say that your name, Coco Rocha, is very beautiful and fluid (easy to pronounce, smooth), or simply Rocha. Or--MADAME ROCHA. If you don't want to include your name in in your clothing line, it'd be hard for me to give a name since I know so little about your design style, but here's what initially came to mind when I first learned of your clothing line: Whizbang.

I think it will depend on your line and what image you are trying to convey (strength? femininity? sophistication?).

At first impulse, I would suggest something like SoCo - it evokes News York (Soho), while being relevant to you (short for So Coco), it's also stylistically clean. So if you're line is very neutral, basic with clean lines, go for it.

Isn't your real name Mikhaila - why not name it that? it's simple, it's elegant. It's a beautiful name, and it suggests that your line is from a more mature, authentic Coco who is expressing her true, artistic self through design. It'll help separate you a bit from Coco the model who high-fives freja on the runway and has videos of her farting on youtube. :o)

Or maybe name it after someone you know, or the public knows, who embodies all the characteristics you want to express in your fashion line?

once upon a time i was planning on having my own clothing line and i also struggled with a name.

the things i considered were:-how will it sound when other people say the name, be it on the red carpet or when being snapped by a street style photographer (i didn't like the sound of my own name so instead i used my middle name and the island i was born as a first and last name, so it was still personal)

-how easily can it be googled without driving people crazy (i've had to search for information on labels like "white" or some mess like that)

-how will it look on a label? caps vs. lower case? what font will be used?

all these points i'm sure you already know. that being said my favourite name that i've seen thus far by other readers is "MIKA"; or what about MIKHA?

something more personal would be dope, but no type of shorting your full name where i would land on jay-z's page by mistake. or on chanel's page. or on rochas' page.

Hey, I'm thinking OH SO COCO, that would help complete your look...you know; your blog, your line etc. I've only recently started reading your blog, I find it so interesting and I've told others they should read it too. Looking forward to seeing your line, I'm hoping I can afford it, I really like your style!Good luck!

Rocha, oh so rocha, coco&co. ,cocopops!good luck but maybe the cereal related one not so good!i plan to one day have my own fashion line and i don't know what to call mine either soo i know how desperate the situation feels!

-Pinto-Anonymous (by Coc0)-irreversible-frenzy-Chocolate chips-revolution-Slumlung-vertical-Coton (it's the name of my cat ^^)I'm french and I've seen some of your photos, I like them!Hope that you'll enjoy it! =DGOOD lUcK!!

Many have said it already, OhSoCoco would be great .Or maybe something with numbers like your bday or other important date ( kind of like twenty8twelve ). or something en francais, ce qui donne un effet chic aupres des anglophones. I hope your brand is affordable

Dear, though i found u great as a model, i honestly think that u should be very serious with the line thing, cause there are million of labels out there. Wearable, sweet and bla, bla bla is all around u. Either deliver fashion world something strong and worth talking about (through ur own prisma of course)or stick to what u know best. Names are of less importance. The outcome of ur labour is what counts.

woah its amazing that you're letting us blog readers to suggest you the names of your fashion brand !

Personally . i think your blog title would make a good brand for ur clothing line . but if you want something different then i think 'Coco Before Rocha' could be good maybe ? i got the inspiration from 'coco before chanel' movie .. i think the name could represent the fact that you've grown up through the modelling industry and now you're designing ur own clothing line .

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited...!!! I can't believe that I am in your blog... You are one of the best top models in the woeld!!!!!aaa It is so exciting...The best name for your clothes brand is your own name: COCO ROCHA!GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BRAND!! I will buy all clothes that you make! :D

I'm liking the Rococo allusion of many people... but instead of naming your brand after a movement in art, call it "soCOCO" or "soCoco".

I don't think you want to go with "SoCo" (don't want to get confused with Southern Comfort).

A ballsy move would be to go with "Coco" - it may be closely tied to Chanel but it is also short and sweet (and mans coconut in French :P). Simply Coco. People know your name, the brand has already been created.

Great fashion houses simply use their last names: Armani, Ferragamo, Chanel, Gucci. You could use your last name: Rocha.

Ultimately, though, I think the name has to come out of the core spirit of your design philosophy (if you want to dream up another name).

Some other names for consideration: Soli, Treble [the way you write your name on your website reminds me of musical notation], Rocka' (more of an urban-inspired name that comes from pronouncing your name in Italian) da RochaGabbro (type of rock that underlies much of the earth, inspired by Rocha which means rock in Portuguese)GabbraCoRo or Co RoCoCocoRo (a twist on the name that everyone already knows so well)Coco Roco
